The campaign began in September and had been due to end on 28th January, but that has now been extended to 31st March.
The company said: “We charged past our initial goal of £7.5million in just six weeks, and since then we have gone on to double that initial target, having raised £15 million in 140 days.
“The response from our community has been astounding — the support we have for our sustainability initiatives proves that collectively we can achieve incredible things and change the course of history when it comes to climate change.”
The campaign set out to raise to raise £7.5 million for projects such as direct wind power for the brewery, CO2 recovery, and converting spent grain to green gas.
With the extended target, the company can further invest in electric vehicles, a hop farm at its Columbus brewery, and Tomorrow bars — bars that are 100% zero waste. There will also be more solar energy, more canned beer (more eco-friendly than bottles), and localised breweries in France and India, reducing the carbon footprint for shipping.
